5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent little book., 13 Jun 1999
By A Customer
Short sayings by Morei Ueshiba. A perfect book for looking up the quote of the day. Very useful for friendly warriors and all kinds of peace-makers.

5.0 out of 5 stars An compelling view in to the mind of a master, 8 Sep 2003
By A Customer
Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of aikido, was in my view one of the greatest martial artists of all time. Although being a man of peace, he fully understood where and when force must be used, and even as an old man of 81 he could take on almost any number of opponents, defeat them, but leave them unharmed.

He was a man totally in control of his life and destiny and this book is full of quotes and short poems that he based his life upon. Instead of teaching you how to deliver fast and deadly kicks, Morihei Ueshiba believed that if you trained enough, were confident in yourself, and were in tune with your suroundings, then you can take on anybody.

This is a book for anybody, you do not have to practice aikido, or any style of martial art for that matter, it is a book explaining Morihei Ueshiba goverend his life and how he believed everybody should live theirs.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Refreshing Read
This book is almost the antithesis of Sun Tzu's 'The Art of War' and validates itself through, in the beginning, the fine example of what Morihei Ueshibas did with his life... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars This little book hits on aikido's philosophic hot points.
After five years of training I saw this little (literally) book. The almost Haiku way the thoughts are presented are perfect for thinking about aikido, martial arts and life.
